  • Patent number: 11564400
    Abstract: A hardstock fat composition for use in making edible water-in-oil emulsions such as spreads, in particular (but not exclusively) when produced using the hardstock in the form of micronized fat powder, and process to use such hardstock fat to make a fat slurry and to make a water-in-oil emulsion (like spreads) using such hardstock fat. The hardstock fat may give improved properties of the resulting emulsion.

  • Patent number: 10588327
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of aerated water-in-oil emulsions containing sucrose fatty acid esters. The invention further relates to aerated water-in-oil emulsions containing sucrose fatty acid esters, and to use of the composition for shallow flying and baking of food products. The method comprises a step wherein an oil is mixed with sucrose fatty acid ester, followed by aeration of this mixture. The obtained foamed oil is mixed with a water-in-oil emulsion.

  • Patent number: 7223435
    Abstract: Preparation of a fat phase suited for the preparation of food compositions which contain liquid or solid particles stably dispersed in the fat phase, which preparation comprises mixing 0.25–20 wt. % of a structuring triglyceride fat A with 0–19.75 wt. % of a triglyceride fat C and admixing a vegetable oil up to 100%, which fat A is characterized in that the fat is non-hydrogenated and that its content of fully saturated triglycerides is 20–100 wt. %, 80–100 wt. % of its saturated fatty acid residues are palmitic acid or stearic acid residues, 0–5 wt. % of its saturated fatty acid residues are lauric acid or myristic acid residues, <50 wt. % of its saturated triglycerides are monoacyl triglycerides and that fat C having a solid fat content at 20° C. (N20) being at least 5 contains less than 20 wt.
